It is also the meal where we recognize that Jesus "broke bread" and we continue to acknowledge this every Sunday during the Eucharist. This interactive dinner of reading, prayer, and food, will walk us through the symbols of our faith - such as the tears of the Israelites (in salt water), the promises God made to Moses, and unleavened bread.
We’ll once again hold this parish wide event during Lent on Monday, March 25 at 5pm. Registration is required for this event, please click the blue box below to sign up.
